ABSTRACT:
In a sliding roof for automobiles, a sliding lid is secured against tearing out from the roof opening due to the high uplift forces acting on it at extremely high speeds of travel of the order of 300 km/h (186 m.p.h.), by a sealing profile strip, engaging beneath an edge flange of an automobile roof and secured against stripping off from the sliding lid by means of a holding frame. The sealing strip has two grooves, one engaging a downwardly-extending peripheral flange of the lid and the other engaging holding elements which extend substantially horizontally, spaced from, beneath and beyond the downwardly-extending flange. In addition, support levers can be mounted height-adjustably on the holding frame at the front on either side, which levers also engage beneath the fixed automobile roof and bear, with their outer ends, on guide tracks fixed to the automobile roof, which extend along the entire sliding travel of the sliding lid and are fitted at an appropriate slope to follow the movement direction of the lid.
